Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups whole milk or half-and-half
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken (from a rotisserie chicken)
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, corn, green beans)
  • 1 cup diced gold potatoes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 6-8 minutes until softening. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  2. Sprinkle flour over vegetables. Stir constantly and cook for 2 minutes to make a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, then milk, ensuring no lumps form. Add thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and carrots are tender. Add optional potatoes with the broth if using.
  5. Stir in shredded chicken and frozen vegetables. Simmer for 5-7 more minutes until heated through.
  6. Remove bay leaf. Season generously with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, use oil and full-fat coconut milk. Soup thickens upon standing; add a splash of broth when reheating if needed. Freezes well for up to 3 months.
